Report to the commander, they have not undergone quarantine inspection yet! The gatekeeper lieutenant suddenly stepped forward, saluted Tang Zihao, and said loudly.

Isolation?! Huan Chu was surprised to hear that there was quarantine inspection upon entering human gathering places, something he had never heard of before.

However, it is also normal to think about it. The infection of zombies increases exponentially. If a few humans carrying the zombie virus are accidentally brought in, once it breaks out, the entire human base that has been painstakingly built will probably be destroyed in an instant. If Huan Chu were the leader of the base, he would obviously also implement the isolation measure.

But he absolutely cannot accept quarantine inspection now!

Once all members of the team appeared at the same time, the pretending-to-be-dead Li Feng would be completely exposed in front of Sun Lao, and all his efforts to deceive would be in vain.

What should we do? Forcing our way in definitely won't work. We can't just leave Li Feng outside, can we?

Just as Huan Chu was feeling anxious, Tang Zihao spoke up: "There's no need for isolation. They are all survivors who crawled out of a pile of dead bodies. They should be more vigilant in this regard than us." Just let it go. "

Huan Chu was taken aback, not expecting to pass the first level so easily. He pondered for a moment and immediately understood Tang Zihao's intentions. It was clear that he wanted to give himself more time to prepare for a battle with the bounty hunters.

It's not that this cunning and vigilant security commander suddenly had a change of heart like Sima Yi, but rather he hoped to reduce the power of the bounty hunters as much as possible, and ideally become the third civilian force in the area.

Three legs are the most stable structure, and a triangle is the most stable shape.

Currently, in the civilian world, there are only the Wolf Pack and the Headhunter Gang dominating everything. Once one guerrilla group is absorbed by another, the new group immediately gains the strength and prestige to challenge the military.

This potential possibility is naturally something the military does not want to see, so Tang Zihao has tried more than once to build up a new force.

Ke Hejin and Gu Chengyi are also astute individuals, and they saw through Tang Zihao's intentions early on, so they would not easily let him have his way. Whenever a new force emerges, these two archenemies will join hands to suppress the upstart, so Tang Zihao's plan has never been realized to this day.

The reason he targeted Huan Chu this time is simple. First of all, Huan Chu and the Bounty Hunter Gang are natural enemies, and their relationship with the Wolf Pack is also not good, meeting the basic conditions to become the third power.

Secondly, and most importantly - strength.

In Tang Zihao's view, Huan Chu's team of vehicles has already preliminarily possessed the capability to become a large-scale guerrilla force, and does not need excessive assistance and support from the military. Failure is just bad luck. Tang Zihao can always choose a new target.

Once successful, it will be a lucrative business.

In just a moment, Huan Chu quickly analyzed Tang Zihao's psychology.

Since the other party's "help" was not given with good intentions, there is no need for me to thank him sincerely.

Huan Chu nodded at Tang Zihao, then led the team of people and a soldier sent by the lieutenant back to the car, passing directly through the open wire mesh gate.

After passing through the barbed wire, Huan Chu realized that the military troops he had seen before were just the first sentries, and the barbed wire was only the outermost perimeter of the base.

Turning a corner, a towering city wall and a large iron gate appeared in front of Huan Chu. This is truly a rare item in modern society, and it is the first time he has seen a modern man-made city wall.

Huan Chu estimated that the city wall was at least two stories high, and the automatic iron gate used as the city gate was at least one foot thick, which was indeed the best defense against zombies.

The wall that stretched as far as the eye could see enclosed the entire human base, making everyone marvel at the advanced productivity now. In just half a month, such a massive project could be built.

There are several machine gun teams on the city wall, ready and waiting, with large searchlights installed next to them, clearly showing a 24-hour alert posture.

Sitting in the Humvee, the soldier accompanying Huan Chu noticed his interest in the defenses here, so he spoke up, "We have over 200 soldiers stationed on the city wall, with a machine gun emplacement every fifty meters on average. As long as the zombies dare to come, we'll make sure they can't go back." "

Huan Chu gave a faint smile, handed over a cigarette, and asked, "Isn't this considered revealing military secrets?" "

The soldier who had just been serious in front of the officer looked disdainfully out the window and replied directly, "What military secrets? As long as you live in there for a while and pay a little attention, you can easily find out. And we were originally prepared for zombies, not humans. Does military secrets matter? "

Huan Chu did not expect the soldier to be so talkative. Since he was bored driving, he decided to chat with him.

According to the soldier named Song Jianjun, before the zombie outbreak, their division commander, now the base security commander Tang Zihao, was leading the entire division in a fully armed training exercise near W County. During military exercises, the troops live in large tents and eat communal meals, with a population density that is both higher and lower than in cities. Therefore, the zombie wave has caused significant damage to the entire army, with almost all of the tens of thousands of troops perishing, and it was only after much difficulty that a regiment was formed and stationed in the recent county of W.

Huan Chu was already puzzled that there were no garrisons near his hometown, so he wondered why a security command suddenly appeared. Upon receiving the news from Song Jianjun, I felt relieved. It seems that to survive in the end times, one needs not only abilities, but also extremely strong luck.

For example, the residents of County W have hardly suffered any major harm and have been protected by this remnant army. Compared to the people in the big cities, they are indeed much luckier.

According to Song Jianjun's understanding, the locals and outsiders in the base are evenly split, but the influence of outsiders clearly outweighs that of the locals.

The reason is simple: a group of sheep will never be a match for an equal number of lions. Although it may be an exaggeration to describe outsiders as lions, almost everyone who can survive and escape the zombie tide from outside and come to the base has some ability.

Compared to them, the locals who have not been attacked by the zombie tide are as vulnerable and easy to bully as naked lambs.

Therefore, as the base was established and more and more outsiders arrived, the inevitable conflict between the two sides ensued.

The results are even more obvious. The local people, who have always been under the rule of the government and the military without any weapons, are no match for the outsiders. This large-scale conflict didn't even last two days, as the indigenous people gave up their homes, food, and transportation without a fight, obediently moving from the city to the outskirts.

Huan Chu, who knew this news, showed no signs of excitement or resentment.

Having survived in the post-apocalyptic world for a long time, he naturally understood that it was an era where the law of the jungle prevailed - only the strong could occupy more resources and living space, and the weak should willingly make way. If it weren't for the military's suppression, I'm afraid that when Huan Chu returned to his hometown, his childhood relatives and friends would have been slaughtered by outsiders.

"That's right!" Song Jianjun slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot to tell you, all transactions in the base are conducted in gold, after all, in the current situation, there are basically no people willing to accept paper currency." "

Huan Chu was taken aback. He had a lot of Republic coins on him, but he had never thought about searching for gold at all. Turning back to look at Chen Wenwen, she waved at me, clearly indicating that this non-materialistic queen had never thought about bringing those big, heavy, and useless things when going out.

Song Jianjun saw this scene, how could he not know that they did not have gold in their hands, but he laughed nonchalantly: "Don't be nervous, although gold is considered currency, guns and food are the real hard currency." "

Patting the Type 54 pistol at his waist, he continued, "I'm not kidding. With this old Type 54 in my hand and a magazine of bullets, I could at least exchange it for ten times its weight in gold." "

Arms trading is more profitable in the apocalypse than ever before.

Although the team had plenty of firearms, with over a hundred Type 54 pistols, Huan Chu had no intention of making this deal with anyone else.

In his view, every gun can be transformed into combat power, and every unit of combat power is a guarantee of team safety. He would never exchange guns for 'worthless' gold or currency.

Just as the two were talking, the convoy had arrived at the city gate. It was not until they approached that they noticed there were two guard towers behind the city wall, each seven to eight meters high, with several sentries standing on top. However, judging from the relaxed appearance of the sentry leaning on his gun, it seems that the base has not encountered any danger for a long time.

The soldiers under the city gate seemed to have received instructions from the lieutenant ahead, and a team was sent straight to the war chariot where Huan Chu was located. Song Jianjun opened the door and jumped out, exchanged a few words with a soldier who looked like a squad leader, and then got back into the car.

With a wave from the squad leader, the roadblock at the city gate was quickly lifted, and Huan Chu's convoy started up again, heading towards the base.

Alright, your accommodation has been assigned. It seems that the efficiency of various institutions in the end times has greatly improved. It only took a short ten minutes for Huan Chu to enter the barbed wire and reach the city gate, and the military has already made all the arrangements.

Kehuan Chu had no intention of going to the residential gathering arranged by Tang Zihao. He directly asked Song Jianjun, "Where are the locals gathering now?" "

Song Jianjun was stunned and pointed in a direction.

Huan Chu looked into the distance and saw that Song Jianjun was pointing to the area of the forest park. According to Huan Chu's understanding, there were no residential areas there at all, definitely the outskirts.

How? Are you a local? Song Jianjun couldn't help but glance at Huan Chu a few more times and asked.

"I guess so," Huan Chu scratched his nose, "I've been around in W county for almost 20 years." "

"Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi, head southeast along the main road." "
